IATP - Asbestos Awareness

Description

Syllabus/Course Structure and Assessment

If you have no intention of removing asbestos but work on buildings built or refurbished before the year 2000, asbestos could be present. You will need awareness training so you know how to avoid the risks. Asbestos awareness training should be given to employees whose work could foreseeably disturb the fabric of a building and expose them to asbestos or who supervise or influence the work. In particular, it should be given to those workers in the refurbishment, maintenance and allied trades where it is foreseeable that ACMs may become exposed during their work.

The main subject areas of the course are:

• Properties of asbestos and the history of use
• Health affects
• Asbestos types and uses
• Legislations
• Correct procedures in an emergency
• How to avoid the risks
